Chapter 97: New Year's Eve

Xu Xiaxi was very curious about the relationship between Cheng Yu and Sheng Ning, but after Chen Youle's case was over, her affairs also increased.

They all helped Fu Lichen deal with some legal documents.

Cheng Amnesty's company is about to go public, and Cheng Amnesty has almost lost all the legal problems of the company's listing to Fu Lichen.

Xu Xiaxi didn't even have time to relax during the Chinese New Year, and when she learned that Ms. Xiao was going abroad for an operation during the Chinese New Year, she didn't even return to Beijing and stayed in Haishi directly.

Unexpectedly, Fu Lichen, who lives in Beijing, did not return home.

Chinese New Year's Eve also carried Xu Xiaxi Law Firm to work overtime, looking so ordinary that he didn't realize what day it was.

Xu Xiaxi looked up from the busyness and looked at Fu Lichen's serious and focused side face.

After a while, I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have to go home?" ”

Fu Lichen: "I'll come back later." ”

Xu Xiaxi: "...... I mean, why don't you go back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year today? ”

She didn't know much about Fu Lichen's situation, she only knew that Fu Lichen had a mother who had been living in Beijing.

When she was in college, she occasionally saw Fu Lichen return to Beijing during the holidays, but now she doesn't even go back for the New Year?

Fu Lichen stopped what he was doing, looked at Xu Xiaxi, and asked lightly: "Do you want to go back?" ”

"Yes, no, it's just thinking about how today is also the New Year, you ......" Xu Xiaxi didn't expect to be asked rhetorically, and answered a little hesitantly.

She didn't know whether to ask or not.

She and Fu Lichen are not familiar with each other, so it seems that it is too much to explore privacy like this.

Fu Lichen asked with a smile: "What program do you want for the New Year?"

It's not fun for two people to eat out, why don't you go home and make dumplings, or do you still want to watch fireworks? Fireworks can't be set off in the city, but you should be able to ...... in the suburbs."

"Wait, wait!" Xu Xiaxi interrupted Fu Lichen's chatter in a panic, his face showing confusion.

Unsure asked, "You're going to spend time with me?" ”

Fu Lichen pointed to the clock that was about to reach five o'clock in the afternoon, raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought what I meant was obvious enough." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve came to the office to work overtime, and the overtime work was not left until five or six o'clock in the afternoon...... Isn't this the rhythm of the next activities?!

Xu Xiaxi: "......"

"Or do you not want to spend time with me?" Fu Lichen squinted slightly, and his tone was full of danger.

Xu Xiaxi shook his head hurriedly, "No, no, I didn't think about it like this at all." ”

It's just that she didn't think that she would celebrate the New Year with Fu Lichen.

Fu Lichen smiled a little, raised his chin towards the document in Xu Xiaxi's hand, and said, "After reading the document in your hand, let's leave." There shouldn't be any fresh food in the market at this point, so we'll go to the supermarket later. ”

He straightened out the rest of the arrangements.

Xu Xiaxi's eyes were about to pop out when he heard this.

It's the first time she has seen Fu Lichen so full of life!

Rare and confused.

Xia Xi secretly wondered if Fu Lichen had accompanied her to the vegetable market once-she was afraid that she would be surrounded by the vegetable market aunt to inquire about the man's family conditions and friendships, so she never went to the farmers' market with Fu Lichen after that-how the man seemed to know everything about this.

Even the Chinese New Year's Eve Farmers Market will close early!

Xu Xiaxi had to admit that Fu Lichen's arrangement was very appropriate, even if he felt a little awkward, he still followed Fu Lichen to the supermarket to buy.

This point supermarket is a place with a lot of people, and many people who are struggling on the front line like them are only coming to the supermarket after work now.

The supermarket was crowded with people coming and going, and everyone was busy choosing, compared to Fu Lichen and Xu Xiaxi's quick movements and clear goals.

It took less than ten minutes to choose tonight's dinner and settle the bill before the cashier rush hour.

After returning home, he was also Xu Xiaxi's chef, and Fu Lichen helped - since Fu Lichen abducted Xu Xiaxi home to cook, he and Xu Xiaxi rightfully finalized the resolution to eat together.

Xu Xiaxi's protest was ineffective, so he could only resign himself to continuing to cook for Fu Lichen.

Fortunately, she had never seen any messy people in Fu Lichen's house, even Cheng Yu and Lin Wenyu had never seen anyone here.

Xu Xiaxi had to wonder if Fu Lichen was a cunning rabbit in the third cave, and there were other places to live.

Otherwise, with Fu Lichen's status and identity today, how could he not even have a visitor at home.

In such cranky thoughts, she quickly kneaded the dough, pressed the skin and made dumplings, and her movements were skillful.

Dinner was ready in no time.

To Xu Xiaxi's surprise, when she wrapped the dumplings and prepared to put them in the pot, Fu Lichen said, "You can have dinner first." ”

“???” Xu Xiaxi was confused and followed Fu Lichen out of the kitchen.

I was surprised to find that there were already two plates of delicately decorated steaks on the table, accompanied by two glasses of red wine.

Xu Xiaxi: "...... What is the rhythm of this? ”

Fu Lichen said with a look of course: "I've been busy for a year, and I always have to reward myself." It's just a bit rushed and probably won't taste too good......"

"......" Xu Xiaxi was speechless for a long time before he held back a sentence: "It's already very powerful!" ”

She didn't understand where Fu Lichen had conjured these things from?!

Fu Lichen smiled, "Then sit down and eat first!" Dumplings are reserved for supper and eaten tomorrow morning. ”

Both of them don't stick to those cumbersome customs, how to be happy.

After a full meal, Xu Xiaxi also drank a glass of Fu Lichen's treasured red wine, and felt more and more satisfied.

It seems that the sadness of working overtime in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the dismal disappointment when I can't reunite with my family because of work, are all missing at this moment.

Finally, I feel a little satisfied with the New Year.

She was half-lying on the sofa and let out a long, comfortable sigh, which attracted Fu Lichen's sideways.

"Happy?" Fu Lichen asked funny.

Xu Xiaxi drank some red wine, although he was not drunk, but his little face was flushed, his eyes were misty and moist, and he looked at Fu Lichen like this.

After a while, it seemed that he heard the man's words clearly, nodded slowly, and said in his mouth: "Open and happy." ”

Since her father's death, Ms. Xiao seems to be very disgusted with these reunion days, and even deliberately works overtime on holidays, so Xiao Xia Xi has long been used to spending the holidays alone.

After that, I studied abroad and spent some foreign festivals, and I haven't had a good Spring Festival for more than ten years.

So when I heard Fu Lichen say that she would not return to Beijing today, she didn't show it on her face, but she was really excited in her heart.

Even the boring cooking process of the past is enjoyable.

She looked up at Fu Lichen's gentle and smiling eyes, feeling as if she was being wrapped in a warm flow of heat, so comfortable that she just wanted to sigh.

"Why don't you sit down?" Xia Xi shook his head that was a little dizzy, and reached out to grab Fu Lichen's wrist, trying to pull people closer to him.

Fu Lichen also sat on the sofa, and pinched Xia Xihong's fluttering little face, and teased: "It's usually difficult for you to be closer to me, but today I took the initiative!?" ”

Xu Xiaxi tilted his head to look at Fu Lichen, and the whole person was innocent and innocent from his posture to his expression.

She didn't seem to understand Fu Lichen's words, and after a long pause, she was stunned for a while before she whispered: "I want to be close, I want to be close, it's just that it's ......."

Xia Xi had some knotted tongues, and it took a long time to straighten his tongue and say, "I'm afraid!" ”

"Huh?" Fu Lichen lowered his head slightly, wanting to hear Xu Xiaxi's words clearly, but the latter was unstable and threw himself into his arms.

It's soft and hot.

Fu Lichen hugged it and was unwilling to let go.

Just leaned into Xia Xi's ear, exhaled, and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Xu Xiaxi: "......"

"Tell me, what are you afraid of?" The man asked patiently and gently.

Still no answer.

Fu Lichen looked down at Xu Xiaxi suspiciously, but found that this little thing didn't know when it was asleep!!

Fu Lichen: "......"

That's a glass of poured wine!

He was afraid of getting people drunk, so he specially picked a bottle of red wine with low alcohol content.

But Xu Xiaxi was still drunk in his arms.

At the same time, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Fu Lichen scratched the tip of Xu Xiaxi's nose, picked him up and put him on his big bed.

Xu Xiaxi also knew how to automatically and consciously get into the warm quilt when he fell asleep, and he covered himself tightly, revealing only a harmless sleeping face of humans and animals.

Fu Lichen felt that his heart was too soft to speak, and his big hand gently stroked Xu Xiaxi's long hair, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with tenderness.

"Hee-hee, don't be afraid!"

————

Xu Xiaxi didn't say it, but he couldn't deny it.

The Spring Festival that Fu Lichen and her have been with is the most satisfying reunion festival she has had in more than ten years.

Even if she and Fu Lichen have nothing to do with each other.

After working overtime for a few days, the corners of her mouth were always slightly hooked, and she couldn't suppress it no matter how much she pressed it.

Even with all the heavy information that can crush people on her desk, she can still work happily and work overtime.

There is also a sense of joy in this.

Xu Xiaxi and Fu Lichen are working together to prepare for the listing of Cheng Amnesty's Chengcheng Information Technology Co., Ltd.

In the contract of mergers and acquisitions, just by reading the terms and conditions in it, you can see people as two big.

Even if someone as powerful as Fu Lichen is, it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

They were so busy for almost a month that they could barely get some of the documents out of the way.

Before Xu Xiaxi could breathe a sigh of relief, the directors of the law firm, Long Kun and Yu Yingying, came to the door.

Yu Yingying's expression was gentle, and she said to Fu Lichen in a soft voice: "Li Chen, I have encountered some trouble in a case here, and I want to ask you for a favor!" ”

"What's the busy?" Fu Lichen only glanced up at Yu Yingying, then lowered his head and continued to read his documents, his tone cold and rustic.

Yu Yingying had long been accustomed to Fu Lichen's appearance, so she didn't care, and took the initiative to say her predicament, "It's Lawyer Lu Lan from our law firm, you know her!"

Previously, she helped a friend take on a case of a dispute over a housing lease contract, because she was not qualified enough, and the parties were not very happy, so she asked me to work with her on risk representation. I looked at the case at the time, and I didn't think it was complicated, so I agreed to represent her in the case. After that, I was busy, and I didn't bother with it.

Unexpectedly, this case was just a simple matter as the tenant asking the landlord for the construction money, and there was a contract as evidence, but Lu Lan still lost the first instance of this case.

Now the parties have been making trouble, and it is not said that we colluded with the other party to make them lose the case. ”

Where a lawyer maliciously colludes with the opposing party to infringe upon the client's rights and interests, the lawyer's practice certificate may be revoked in serious cases, or even criminal responsibility may be pursued.
